By old world standards, Valfieri is relatively young in wine producing,
having been founded in 1961. The family Clerici-Riccadonna have a
history; the current owners are the fifth generation.
In 1981 the company moved to Villa Montersino in the small village of Costigliole d’Asti. They bought and renewed a late 1600’s villa that now is a real show piece. The vineyard is not large, only 15 acres, but with long term contracts with other vineyard owners, they can purchase and vinify grapes. Careful selection of these suppliers guarantees adequate and high quality materials for their superb quality wines. The rich, full-bodied Barolo is a perfect example of the winemaker’s art.
